The film is made with high professionalism, and well acted by its principals.. It is, however, none too believable. Go to Full Review
David Ansen Newsweek Feb 15, 2018
Michael Apted's Blink walks a fine line, but if you're willing to accept it on its frankly formulaic terms, it delivers some good jolts. Go to Full Review
Roger Ebert Chicago Sun-Times Jan 1, 2000
3.5/4
Blink is an uncommonly good thriller. Go to Full Review
Bob Shelton Birmingham Post Feb 29, 2024
It's a clever plot with Stowe generating a lot of tension as she becomes the killer's target but it doesn't quite sustain the impact that would make it an outstanding thriller. Go to Full Review

3/4
...an interesting premise that's employed to mostly engaging effect... Go to Full Review
Kathi Maio Sojourner Aug 15, 2019
That Emma defends herself in the end can provide no real redemption for a character who has been consistently compromised by her creators. Go to Full Review
